Dozens of candidates threw their names into the hat for leadership positions in the New Jersey State Bar Association.

All of the candidates will be reviewed by the State Bar’s Nominating Committee, which issues a report to the association’s 17,000 members on a slate of candidates. If someone decides to contest a candidate, a vote of the members determines the winner.

Successful candidates will take their posts in May.
